Thinking about the Z

DAC17 · 12-27-2008, 09:28 PM

I have read a lot about the new Z, and it sure sounds like a well-balanced, fun to drive car. I'm particularly interested in the new manual shift with automatic throttle blips.

I will be in line to drive one, as soon as they're in.

since i'm a genius, that makes you a genius...... LOL

which colours & packages do you like for the new Z??

DAC17 · 12-27-2008, 09:32 PM

I currently have a 2008 Mazdaspeed 3. Nice car, but the new Z sounds like a little more "sports car" oriented.

Haven't settled on color or packages yet, since I want to see them in person and drive one before I settle on a choice.

DAC... Don't listen to Shumby and Nogood when it comes to colors... They're color blind and can't see white.

Pick white because it's right. It's classy and bossy all in one. And all the white cars sound better.

shumby · 12-28-2008, 02:11 AM

White is so not bossy it is the colour of little school girls and people with submissive attidutes. Black demands respect and gets it.

^^^ You couldn't be more wrong... Submissive? That's why the Lambo LP640 was introduced in WHITE, right???

DAC17 · 12-28-2008, 11:32 AM

Actually, my Mazdaspeed is "crystal pearl white". Nice color. I'd probably stick with it if I got a new Z.
